BAKU (Reuters) -McLaren's Formula One title contender Lando Norris gained another place to 15th on the starting grid for Sunday's Azerbaijan Grand Prix after Mercedes changed the power unit in Lewis Hamilton's car.

Seven times world champion Hamilton had qualified seventh, one behind Red Bull's championship leader Max Verstappen, but will now join Alpine's Esteban Ocon in starting from the pit lane after exceeding his power unit allowance.
